MUBDEK ENDS A BACE WAB. Henrj Rice Dying From a Cut In flicted by James Gormley. POLICE HUNTING THE ASSAILANT. Hike Talley Arrested for Seriously Catting Ilenrj Thomas. THE CRIMES OP INDEPENDENCE DAT Frank Helmstetter wa9 stabbed to death by two Italians, Joseph Zapp and his brother. Helmstetter lived in a frame house with a family named Blake in an alley in the rear of Yew street, near Matilda street. The murder -was committed about 8 o'clock. The Italians caught hold of him by either arm and then simultaneously plunged their knives into their victim's sides. After they stabbed him they drew their knives up, cutting gashes from six to eight inches long. The little German clock on the man tel in Helmstetter's room is silent. The hands were stopped at 10:30. According to the German custom it was stopped when he died. The mur dered man was a handsome, black haired fellow, 26 years of age. He was a cooper and worked for Litsege, on Center avenue. Mrs. Helmtetter is a fine-looking young woman, and apparently well educated. She has only been married three years. "When seen at her home this morning sha told th: following story of the crime: Story or the Tlcttm'g Wife. We had intended to have a very pleasant holiday. Some of Frank's relatives were here spending the day. Next door to us lives "William Eeardon, an Irishman, with his wite, two grown up daughters and a number of small children. His daughters, Mary and Kate are married, to Italian laborers. One is Joseph Zapp and I am not certain of the name of tne other. They had been drinking over there all day and had been gambling among themselves. They are always yelling at us i and calling us 'Dutch.' "Between 7 and 8 o'clock Frank and his cousin were playing cat and dog in the yard when I saw one of the Beardon girls throw mud at him. I did not say any thing, and a little later her black-haired sister again threw some mud. I told her to quit. She said something, and then they began quarreling among themselves. "A little bit later one of the Italians be gan walking up and down beside where my husband was. I told him to be careful or he would get hurt but he kept on slaving. Just then Mrs. Beardon came running out and said I had accused her of throwing mud. I said I had not but that I had seen her daughter throw some. She then said I called her Dutch. I said I didn't, but I called her Irish. V. Saw Her Htmband Blnrdered. Then the two daughters come running up and wanted to fight. Frank ordered them out and said he wonld take care of his wife. Joseph Zopp came out then and said we were calling his wife names. "We paid no attention to them, but soon after I saw the tsro Jtalians walking up to Frank. I ti.w them reaching for something in their pockets and called to him that they were going to shoot. "Just then they caught him, one by each wrist. I saw them stab him and he fell. The next minute thev were on me, and hit me on the head and on the arm. I don't know what happened then until they brought me up to where my husband was dying. The only thing he said to me was, I didn't expect to leave yon a widow so soon.'" Helmstetter, when he was stabbed, was also struck by a third person on the head with a beer glass. "When he fell "William Oxby picked him tip. He asked for his wife and did not seem to mind the gaping wounds in his body. Oxby ran for Dr. Kirk, but an artery had been cut and there was no way to save him. Arrested the Whole Household. Officer Shnltz was at once notified, and, after summoning assistance, he placed the whole Beardon household under arrest The Italians were just preparing to leave as he got there. He also picked up a butcher knife and the beer glass that had been used on the murdered man. The persons arrested are "William Bear don, his wife, the two married daughters and six children, Joseph Zapp, Joseph Spode, Joseph Mulland and "William Clark. Those were the nameB they gave, but it is believed Mulland is Zapp's brother. Mrs. Helmstetter says she can identify the men who killed her husband. On Joseph Zapp was found a bloody razor, and his clothes were covered with blood. The prisoners re fused to talk after they were taken to the station house. A number of the neighbors were seen, and they all bore out the statements of Mrs. Helmstetter, and both she and her husband have a very good reputation. They all de clare it was a race war, and that the Bear dons were always quarreling with their neighbors because thev were Germans. Cor oner's Clerk Grant Miller Investigated the case last night, and an inquest will be held to-day. JEALOUSY OVEB A QIBL. Woodson Accn.e. His Rival or Trying to Shoot Him. Boger Delaney, a colored man, is an in mate of the Twenty-eighth ward station with a charge of felonious shooting pend ing against him. The prosecutor In the case is a colored man named "Woodson, who claims that the prisoner has designs on his life. The two men board with Mrs. Hardy on South Nineteenth street, and the assault is alleged to have occurred yesterday morning. The story according to At)oodson, is that Delaney is jealous of him about a girl who resides in the city proper. Yesterday the men had some words in their boarding house, when Dejaney drew a revolver and attempted to shoot "Woodson, and would have done so had not another boarder inter fered in time to send the ballet in the air. "Woodson alleges that this is the second time that Delaney attempted to shoot him. Stabbed in Both Hips. Mike Talley got into a fight at Seventh avenue and Fountain street with Henry Thomas last evening and cut him in both hips. A physician was sent for and Thomas was taken to his home. It will be several weeks before he will be able to get out. Talley was locked up. The Fourth's Full Docket. The downtown police had a busy day yesterday, and at midnight there were 89 prisoners In Central station. The majority of them were arrested for street fighting. Arrested for Racine Horses.

Bichard Hardison and Thomas Bobinson, colored, were visiting at John "deary's, on Thirty-eighth street, yesterday, nd during the day drank a lot of beer. In the after noon there was a discussion as to whloh was the most patriotic, the colored man or the white man. The discussion ended in Hardison drawing a revolver and shooting Leary in the cheek, inflicting a painful but not serious wound. Both of the colored men were arrested and locked up.

FOURTH OP JULY FIRES. 6 Two Houses Badly Damaged by the Ex plosion or a Lamp A 1.1st of Petty Fires Dae to the Careless Use of Firecrackers. A fire was discovered in the second floor of the store buildings 944 and 946 Liberty street about 10 o'clock last night. S. S. Holland, the druggist, occupies the store at the first number, and Mohn Bros., gentle men's furnishings, the latter. The second and third floors are occupied by Peter Geis berger and Charles- Gallant, a police lieu tenant, with their families. Both families were away when the fire broke out. Mr. Geisberger left two lamps Durning in his rooms, and went out with his chil dren to meet his wife on her re turn from the celebration at Schenley Park. Lieutenant Gallant was on duty at the park, and his family were there also. Nobody was about the apartments, and it is supposed a lamp ex ploded in Mr. Giesberger's room. An alarm was sent in from box 31 and in half an hour the fire was subdued. The flames, however, had eaten through both homes on the second floor and they were very considerably damaged by water. Each will lose about $500. Mohn Bros.' store was flooded with water and the loss here will amount to about the same. All of them carry insurance. The lace curtain in a house at No. 10 Ashton avenue, Allegheny, caught fire from some fireworks at 9 o'clock last night, but the flames were easily extinguished. An alarm from Station 15 was sent in, but the department was not called out An alarm of fire from box 137, at 9:40 yesterday morning, was due to a slight blaze on the roof of a house on Breed street, Southside, caused by firecrackers. Ten dollars will cover the damage. Alarm of fire from Btation 14 at 8 o'clock last night was caused by the burning of an awning on a store on Third street near Dia mond street. Alarm 329 at 5 o'clock last night was oc casioned by a trifling blaze in Mrs. Lee's store, 2526 Penn avenue. Alarm 53 at 11:30 o'clock last night was caused by a slight fire in the feed store of B. G Fritz, 650 Fifth avenue. Alarm from 214 was due to a $500 fire in the stable of Hays, Bell & Porter, Forty-fourth street All of these fires resulted from the use of fireworks. CAMPBELL ON CARNEGIE. He Attempts to Make Political Capital ot the Homestead Tockout. Columbus, O., July 4. ISpecidLl An old-fashioned Fourth of July celebration here wound up with a ratification meeting of the Chicago ticket The meeting was held at the east front of the Capitol, and the city turned out its thousands. Ex-Governor Campbell was the principal speaker. He eulogized Cleveland, and said the cam paign would be fought upon the issue of the tariff, and that the line was closely drawn. The name of Carnerie was sug gested, and the Governor scored him for 15 minutes, claiming he contributed of his means to Campbell's defeat last fall, and that the Homestead troubles are directly at tributable to a protective tariff: Captain A E. Lee, Consul at Frankfort-on-the-Main under Hayes, made a speech in which he claimed to be a Republican, but the partv had gotten away from him on the tariff. Judge Thurman was unable to be present and preside, as had been announced, but sent me lonowing letter: Tours Inviting me to preside at the ratifi cation meeting tills evening was duly re ceived. I more than regret my inability to to accept, for It would irlve me great pleasure to be with you were It possible for me to do so. Tbe renomlnatlon of Mr. Cleveland is a Just tribute to his sterling merits as a man, a citizen and a Democrat, and no one shall take greater pleasure than I shall In con tributing whatsoever in my power to hU suc cess. AUKl G. TUURKAW A CAPSIZED SKIFF Besnlts In the Drowning ot Three of a Boat ing Party Near DIeadviUe. Meadvdlle, July 4. Arthur Hazeltine his wife and Nellie Narramore, of Coch ranton, started in a skiff from Cochranton this afternoon to sail down French creek with Mr. and Mrs. O. C Hood to their homes 'in TJtica, five miles below. The creek is very high from the recent rains, which probably accounts for the skiff strik ing a bridge pier at Coalton and capsizing. Mr. Hood was able to save himself and wife, but Mr. and Mrs. Hazeltine and the little girl were drowned and their bodies washed away, probably into the Allegheny WHIfclXIHG BULLETS Surprised Some of the Monks Stationed at the Passtonist Monastery. The monks who are stationed atthePas Bionist Monastery on the hill above South Fifteenth street were very badly frightened yesterday morning, and some of them had a narrow escape from being shot A crowd of boys out to celebrate the Fourth and armed with Flobert rifles, put up a target in the grounds and commenced to shoot at it The priests were under the trees, and were surprised to hear bullets whistling around them. The police were called, but the boys escaped. A Non-Union Man Murdered. . HARRISBURO, July 4. Special. A gang of toughs this afternoon assaulted Charles Douglass, an inoffensive workman, inflicting injuries which will likely prove fatal. Douglas was surrounded by a gang of toughs who threatened to lynch him, but the police interfered and soon landed hit assailants. Douglass Is supposed to be a non-union man at the iron works. His skull is fractured. Murder at a Christening. Hazelton, July 4. The Italians of Lattimer gathered at the house of a fellow countryman last night to celebrate the christening of his daughter. Everything went along smoothly until 11 o'clock when a fight began which terminated in the killing of Joseph Parnelli by two brothers named BiccL The murderers fled to the bills. TiE PITTSBURG- STARTLED BY KUMORS Homestead Workers Excited False Alarm of Invasion. by a AN OLD LADY DOES-GUAED DDTI The Fourth of July Spent in a rieasant, ratriotic Manner. PONTOON BRIDGE ACR0S8 THE EIVER Peace reigned at Homestead yesterday. There was but one little flurry this after noon, but it did not last long and turned out a farce. The people have devoted them selves to the celebration of the day in pic nics, excursions and shooting of fireworks. Last night the town was alive with rockets and Boman candles. The great works up the river were dark and silent, and the guards of the Amalgamated Association make their rounds and keep their watch. At about 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon two excited men ran to the headquarters of the workmen and said that 50 black sheep, with their trunks and bags on their backs had entered the town and were coming np the avenue. "Within 10 minutes 500 of the Association had gathered and had moved rapidly to the foreign settlement, where a line was formed. Every street about the location, where strangers were sup posed to have entered houses, was guarded by a cordon of men. This line ran from City Farm lane along Third avenue to McClure street, and as soon as the district was surrounded the leaders made a thorough search of the houses. The truth was soon discovered. Ten Hungarians, who had decid to leave Homestead, had taken their baggage npon their backs and started from their boarding houses for the river. They had been accompanied to the McClure Btreet ferry by a crowd of relatives and friends, and had crossed to the Baltimore and Ohio. It was this throng which the two runners had seen and which had caused the alarm. A Very Determined Old Iadr. There were some odd incidents connected with the scare. As one of the leaders of the men was returning from the search he met, standing at the month of an alley, an old lady, whose hair is white and whose form is bent by the weight of gathered years. Her eve flashed as she straightened up and cried out: "The dirty blacksheep; did you get them? I have guarded this point well." With that she displayed a long and heavy black-jack, whose thong was passed abont her wrist and grasped with a firm hand, which she could hare wielded with telling effect "I believe that the women could win this strike for us," said one of the Associa tion chiefs to-night The workmen expect soon an effort to throw non-union men into the mills under strong guard. One reason they expect this is that Manager Potter and many of tbe superintendents have gone away on the excuse that they are taking advantage of the shut-down to enjoy summer 'vacations. It is said that over 100 superintendents of the many departments have gone away within thelast three or four days. Instead of seeking rest and peace in the seclusion of some sylvan hunting or fishing resort, they have, as a rule, gone to the various large cities of the country, where non-union workmen could be secured, if anywhere. It is nbted that Manager Potter has gone to tbe company s Iron mines near Uulntn, where there are brawny men by the hundred. Pontoon Bridge Across the Blver. Notwithstanding this scattering of the agents of the Carnegie Steel Company, the officers of the Amalgamated Association are not in the least dismayed. This fact is evidenced by their every word and aot The organization of the men is now almost per fect The watch duty is divided Into three turns and the entire town, the river front and the neighborhood of the mills are thoroughly patrolled. The head quarters on Eighth street are never closed, day or night, and there tbe watchmen regularly report The sys tem of signals to call men from their homes, has been so well arranged that within ten minutes a pontoon of skiffs can be thrown across the Monongahela river, either to in tercept and board a steam boat, or throw a large body ot men to the other side of the river. The good order preserved by the thou sands ot idle workmen here is a marvel to the stranger coming into the city. The score of saloons were all open to-day and the streets were crowded with people. Yet none of tbe saloons did a heavy business, and Ias night not a really drunken man was to be' seen on the streets. Many of the men yesterday went to Pittsburg and there enjoyed the Fourth at Schenley Park or at ball games, many others attended the picnics of St Marys Catholic Church in a beautiful grove outside of the borough. "When the celebrators returned they made no perceptible ripple on the surface of affairs. The three borough policemen had little or nothing to da The citizens sat about their shops and discuss politics and labor qnestions, and complain of the sensational reports sent out about ex citement and turbulence. Still they alii admit that no man can tell when the crisis will come. Developments Expecte d To-Day. Yesterday Cnarles K. Brvce, who was fire marshal of the old Volunteer Fire De partment, assumed charge as fire chief under the borough reorganization. He is a capable and prompt man, and the citizens have confidence in his ability to protect tbe town from any accidental conflagration or work of incendiarism. The borough has six hose companies and two hook and ladder companies, and tbe whole force marshals over 800 men. The pressure on the hydrants is so great that engines are not needed, and a stream can be thrown nearly 90 feet high or over 200 feet horizontally. It is expected that there will be an im portant development to-day, but the lead ers last night wonld not give a hint as to its nature. Homesteaders were much relieved when they learned that the two barges being loaded with provisions at Pittsburg were not intended for Homestead, but for the Beaver Dam. CAN'T BUILD MEN-OF-WAR. Naval Circles at Washington 'Worried by the Lockout at Homestead Armor Plate Needed for the New Cruisers Hoping for a Speedy Settlement. Naval officials are much concerned over the labor trouble at the works of Carnegie, Phipps & Co., according to a dispatch from Washington, D. O. The firm are already much behind with their contract for sup plying armor for the new vessels of the navy. Navy officials can see nothing but further delay as long as the strike con tinues. The situation is "especially embarrassing at this time from the fact that nearly all the vessels are approaching a stage when work npon them will have to be stopped unless there are early deliveries of armor plate. One of the inducements that led the depart ment to place a contract with them was the expectation that their simple method of rolling plates would facilitate the delivery of material for the new ships, and although the delay has been longer than anticipated, the department was beginning to icon gratnlate itself that the most trouble was over when the news came of the shutting down of the works. ' Fortunately the strike will not seriously delay work on the battle ships unless it should continue for an extended period. A few weeks ago the department arranged an exchange of plates between the two armor contractors whereby the diagonal and some DISPATCH, TUESDAY, of the side armor plates of the battle ships which were most urgently needed will be made by the Bethlehem works In exchange for other class of armor that can 'be more easily made by Carnegie, Phipps & Co. The monitors and other armored vessels will therefore be more seriously affected by the strike than the battle ships, which latter Secretary Tracy intends, to push to completion even at the expense of other vessels. Carnegie's contract with the-department calls for 6,000 tons of armor, aggregating in cost nearly 14,000,000. Not one-tenth of the armor has yet been delivered. The company will not suffer any in the way of penalties for delay, as it has always been the practice- of the depart ment to waive any claim on this account where the delay is the result of labor troubles. The department officials cannot believe that the company will be long In reaching an agreement with their men for the reason that any prolonged cessation of work would no only mean an immediate loss, but might .jeopardize theic chance ot getting an additional contract for from five to ten thousand tons of . armor soon to be let by the Navy Department THE 40,000 IDLE IRON AND STEEL WORKERS.
